Shashwat Sachdev teases grand live music IP to reimagine film scores as a musical

Shashwat Sachdev is reportedly developing a global live music IP that would mark his first venture into live entertainment, reimagining his Indian cinema scores for a large-scale theatrical experience. According to sources, the project will feature reimagined versions of film scores from Phillauri, Uri: The Surgical Strike, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood and Dhurandhar. The music is expected to be presented as a theatrical musical, combining live performances with visual elements, and the project is reportedly due to premiere at an international venue before coming to India.

The Jaipur-born composer is also set to perform in China later this year at the Wuxi Arts Music Festival, where he will reportedly present a special set.

A production insider close to the project said, “This isn’t just a concert; it is a complete re-engineering of how live Indian music is presented on the world stage. He will be bringing together a massive ensemble of over 100 musicians, orchestra players, and a powerhouse choir to build these wall-of-sound arrangements entirely live. He is building a first-of-its-kind hybrid environment that fuses the intense, emotional storytelling of a theatrical musical with the massive, kinetic visual adrenaline of an international EDM festival. It is going to be a complete sensory overload.”

The development comes as Sachdev continues to work on several high-profile projects. His empanelment for Mohanlal’s Operation Ganga was recently announced. He has also been associated with the Dhurandhar duology, directed by Aditya Dhar.

According to information provided, the Dhurandhar soundtrack generated ₹325 crore ($39 million USD) in streaming ecosystem value. The film was also reported to become the first Indian film to have its entire album chart simultaneously on Spotify’s Global Top 200. The album reportedly reached No. 1 on Billboard India and No. 2 on Spotify’s Top Global Debut chart. Within six months, the franchise was said to have recorded 93 billion views on YouTube and more than 1.3 billion streams on Spotify, placing Sachdev among the top five artists in India on Spotify.

Representatives for Sachdev have not commented on the reported live music project so far.
